This year, Xavier Artfest is gathering over 70 galleries to showcase modern and contemporary artworks from local and international artists. The three-day event also explores the evolving landscape of art through NFTs.
“We are thrilled to host Xavier Artfest 2024, an event that encapsulates the essence of artistic expression and cultural diversity,” says Mr Pacholo Garcia-Morera, Xavier School Batch 1998 President. “We invite everyone to join us in this immersive experience, celebrating the beauty and innovation of modern art and fostering creativity among all age groups.”
A pleasing contrast to the critically acclaimed artists present is a special section dedicated to our nation’s greatest up-and-comers—offering a unique platform for new visionaries to make their skills and imaginations known.
Collectors and enthusiasts can also look forward to the live auction happening on January 27.
Xavier Artfest 2024 will also feature a concurrent event, “Comic Con,” tailored for kids and young adults to create a family-friendly environment. This addition will offer free workshops and engaging talks to inspire creativity among the younger generations.
